Satvik
AP Statistics Tutor • +68 Subjects
I am an incoming college sophomoore studying Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I was one of the top scholars at Carmel High School in Indiana and have various experiences teaching and tutoring through leading the Carmel High School Science Olympiad team to Nationals for two years in a row. Many of my friends consistently come to me for help with various subjects because of my willingness to help and teach in a way that makes sense to everyone. My specialities are physics, chemistry, math, and economics but I am comfortable tutoring any STEM subject, the SAT, and the ACT. Some of my accomplishments include a perfect 36 ACT score, 800 on the Physics, Math Level 2, and Chemistry SAT subject tests, and a 5 on all the physics, Calculus BC, Chemistry, Macroeconomics, Computer Science, etc. AP exams. When teaching, I focus on making sure that not only do students understand different concepts, but also that students understand why and practical applications of the different concepts. As a recent high school graduate, I have a deep understanding of how high-schoolers think, what is covered in various courses now, and can connect with my students a lot more. Additionally, as an undergraduate teaching assistant at the College of Computing at Georgia Tech, I taught weekly recitation sections of 30 students and held weekly office hours. Therefore, I have lots of experience teaching and working with students.

I am eager to help students thrive because I'm still very much a student myself, and will be for the foreseeable future. Though I enjoyed my time as an undergraduate student in Literature, and learned quite a bit during my time at Vanderbilt, there's still more work to be done. I am working towards a Master's degree, and will continue on from there.

Frequently Asked Questions
Pacing is one of the biggest challenges on the ACT—the English section gives you 45 minutes for 75 questions, Math has 60 minutes for 60 questions, and Reading has just 35 minutes for 40 questions. A tutor can help you develop section-specific strategies, like learning which question types to tackle first, how long to spend per question, and which problems to skip strategically. Practice with timed drills helps you internalize a sustainable pace so you're not rushing through the final questions or leaving them blank.
Taking full-length practice tests under timed conditions is essential—you need real data to see where you're losing points. When you review your results, look beyond just your score: track which question types you miss most (like function questions in Math or inference questions in Reading), and note whether you're missing questions because you didn't understand the concept or because you ran out of time. A tutor can help you analyze these patterns and create a targeted study plan that focuses your effort where it matters most, rather than studying everything equally.
Many students try to read every word, which wastes precious time on the ACT Reading section. Effective strategies include reading the questions first to know what to look for, skimming for main ideas and structure rather than details, and using the line numbers in questions to quickly locate relevant passages. Different passages also call for different approaches—paired passages and natural science passages often require different reading strategies than history/social studies. A tutor can teach you which strategy works best for each passage type and help you practice until it becomes automatic.
Speed without accuracy is a common problem—you might be rushing through problems without checking your work or misreading what the question is asking. The ACT Math section rewards both accuracy and pacing, so the goal isn't to finish first; it's to get as many correct as possible. A tutor can help you identify whether you're making careless errors, skipping steps, or struggling with specific math concepts. Building in a review pass where you double-check your most error-prone question types can significantly boost your score without taking much additional time.
Test anxiety often gets worse when you feel unprepared or uncertain about your strategy—which is why having a solid study plan and practicing under real test conditions matters so much. Knowing exactly how you'll approach each section, which problems you'll skip, and how you'll use your time builds confidence. A tutor can also help you develop mental strategies like focusing on one question at a time rather than worrying about the overall test, and practicing relaxation techniques during timed drills so you're calm on test day. Repeated practice with full-length tests under timed conditions is one of the most effective ways to reduce anxiety.
An effective ACT study schedule balances focused skill-building with full-length practice tests. Start with diagnostic practice tests to identify weak areas, then spend time on targeted drills for specific question types or concepts, and gradually increase the number of full-length timed tests as test day approaches. Most students benefit from studying 3-5 times per week over 8-12 weeks, with each session including a mix of review, targeted practice, and timed drills. A tutor can help you create a personalized schedule based on your timeline and current score, ensuring you're spending time efficiently on areas that will move your score the most.
The ACT English section tests specific grammar and punctuation rules repeatedly: subject-verb agreement, pronoun clarity, comma usage, verb tense consistency, and wordiness. Rather than trying to memorize every grammar rule, focus on the patterns you see in practice tests—you'll quickly notice that certain errors appear frequently. The section also includes rhetorical skills questions about organization and style, which require understanding how sentences and paragraphs fit together. A tutor can help you spot the grammar patterns that appear most often on the ACT and teach you efficient ways to eliminate wrong answers, so you're not overthinking every question.
Practice tests serve two purposes: they help you identify weak areas and they train your stamina and pacing under real test conditions. Taking a full-length practice test every 1-2 weeks allows you to see how your score improves over time and whether your study focus is working. The real value comes from reviewing your mistakes carefully—not just noting that you got it wrong, but understanding why you missed it and what concept or strategy you need to practice. A tutor can guide you through this review process, help you spot patterns in your mistakes, and adjust your study plan based on what the tests reveal about your readiness.
